Comment (by westonruter):

 Replying to [comment:4 Joel MMCC]:
 > I fully agree with @mrjarbenne that the importance of this has greatly
 increased now that we can preview Themes other than the currently Active
 Theme in the Customizer.

 The better solution here is to implement #19912 (Add Widget Groups and
 Locations). This would allow sidebars to be managed in the same way that
 nav menus are managed: just as you can change which menu is assigned to a
 given location, so too you should be able to change which group of widgets
 are associated with a given sidebar (widget area).
